About TJ Landman

Hello! I'm TJ, and I've been playing D&D since high school. I started DMing a few years ago in 5e and the horror RPG Mothership and have loved being able to build rich and beautiful stories with my friends.

How TJ Landman runs games

I'm a big fan of roleplaying and puzzles for my players. I love when players come up with unique solutions to achieve a goal. I enjoy creating lots of lore and playing with in depth character backstories; but I also adore committing to a bit. I build balanced combat scenarios with interesting enemies but I also believe that you can have an interesting story with low combat.

My favorite trope is...

Found family! I ran a oneshot once featuring a family of gnome rogues and it was a phenomenal time.

When it comes to voices

I do my best!

TJ Landman's ideal table

I'm a big fan of silly shenanigans at the table as long as we don't lose the plot! I'm willing to play off of a lot and I love when players are active in what they want the world to look like. As someone from a cooperative background I want to make games that are rich and interesting for each player. I do enjoy creative solutions to problems (within reason).
